Having helped Brisbane Roar to the Premiership/Championship double, the 23 year-old was lured south with an imposing record of 11 goals from 24 matches to his name.

Melbourne Victory Football Operations Manager, Gary Cole said, "Jean Carlos possesses all the qualities we like in a player. Not only is he a goal-scorer, but he's a creator too and guys like him are hard to find.

"He had a fantastic season in a team that broke all sort of records on the way to the double, so for him to want to come and join our club is a great endorsement for Melbourne Victory" Cole added.
